2 piece sportster handlebars - vintage
Hi, I am looking for a supplier for either new or used 2 piece flat track style bars for a project I have. Does anybody know where I can get 2 piece bars these days?
Used or new! No luck on ebay recently. I can find buckhorns, but I need flatrack style.
I think they are 1" bars. Is that correct. I can cut some other bars, but what about the knurling, will it hold and match by just cutting new bars in half?
Thanks

I have been looking for 12 years for a set of those bars.
The closest I have come is finding an indy dealer here in Houston a few years back who bought out the inventory of a large closed Harley dealership here in Houston (Stelter Harley-Davidson in business since the 1920's)
He told me he had two semi trailer loads of stuff that he parked for 15 years and had just recently opened them up.
He told me he had more than a dozen pairs of the 'Speedster' bars, which is what you want inside the trailers.
These were brand new bars still wrapped in paper he said.
I should have pressed him harder on this, but I did all I could to get him to turn loose of a set.
He was getting ready to head for Sturgis but would call me when he returned.
He came back but did not call.
I went to his shop and he said he sold everything at Sturgis.
He did have a single left hand Speedster bar but that was it.
I passed because one bar will do me no good.
I continue to look but have not seen another Speedster bar since that time.
If you find yourself a pair let me know (after you have bought them of course )
